Title: System and method for textile positioning
Inventor: LECOSTAOUEC JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: D03D15/68
Filed: 2010-06-11
Abstract: A spiral textile 10 comprises a weft tow 30 that extends from an inside to an outside diameter, and a positional structure, such as a sacrificial edge and/or loop 29, located next to and/or attached to the weft tow. The positional structure positions the spiral textile relative to a circular needle loom to create a needled preform which may be used for carbon fibre brake or clutch discs. The circular needle loom may comprise a stationary bed plate 40 for receiving the spiral textile. Engagement members 74 may be disposed next to the stationary bed plate to interface with the positional structure of the spiral textile to position and rotate the spiral textile around the stationary bed plate. The engagement members rotate the spiral textile around the stationary bed plate until a predetermined number of layers are deposited. Alternatively, a rotational bed plate may receive the textile and engagement members proximate the bed plate interface with the textile positional structure to secure the textile to the bed plate. A conical roller 114 may deploy the spiral textile on the stationary bed plate. A reel 110 with a cone section may be used to store the spiral textile prior to feeding to the loom.

Title: Controlling speed and acceleration profile of a load
Inventor: NIG HOLGER JA RGEN KA
IPC: B66B1/28
Filed: 2011-12-09
Abstract: A load such as an elevator is to be moved from a known start position to a known target position, the movement including at least an acceleration phase and a subsequent deceleration phase. The load is connected to a drive means (12 fig. 6), which is controlled by a controller (10 fig. 6) and the load has a predetermined movement profile including a nominal speed and a creep speed. A method of controlling the movement known as comfort peak curve operation comprises obtaining a first distance d1 or 70 which is the distance that, according to the predetermined movement profile, the load must travel during its acceleration phase in order to reduce its magnitude of acceleration from maximum to zero, such that the load would be travelling at its nominal speed; obtaining a second distance d2 or 74 which is the distance that, according to the predetermined movement profile, the load must travel during its deceleration phase in order to reduce its speed from its nominal speed to its creep speed; and issuing a deceleration command from the controller to the drive means during movement of the load when the distance D between the load's current position and a position at which it should be at creep speed is equal to the first distance d1 plus the second distance d2. The method is safe and comfortable, avoids steep changes in acceleration or rate of change of acceleration and avoids excessive creeping.

Title: Bridge plug pressure equalisation and removal
Inventor: PEDERSEN DAG
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2012-04-30
Abstract: A bridge plug tool is arranged such that primary and secondary pressure equalisation can occur. The tool has a mandrel 26 closed by a plug 32 which seals against inner surface 34 of mandrel 26 and is held in inter-engagement by ratchet formations 36 on the inner surface of mandrel 26 and ratchet formation 38 on the upper part of the plug 37. Slots 42 on the plug 37 allow the ratchet formation 38 to flex radially. Disengagement of the ratchet formation 36, 38 is prevented by an end portion 39 of plug locking member 40 which is itself held in place by a shear screw 44. Secondary equalisation can be achieved by removing plug 37 by tapping down locking member 40, shearing screw 44 and pushing locking member 40 down inside plug 37 so that the end portion 39 is moved away from the ratchet formations 38 and thus removing compressive force between the two ratchet portions 36, 38.

Inventor: ARGOLINI ROBERTO
IPC: F01N3/08
Filed: 2012-09-03
Abstract: A rich combustion mode of an internal combustion engine (ICE) has a fuel after injection split into at least two pulses. The method of controlling the rich combustion mode comprises obtaining values for fuel injection quantity and injection timing from an engine map 20 for each of the after injection pulses and correcting the obtained values using a coolant temperature correction factor 22 and an environmental (e.g. ambient air) temperature correction factor 21 to give calculated injected fuel quantity and injection timing 23. The engine map is an engine load versus engine speed map dependent on a barometric pressure, which is preferably a 3-baro structure of: sea-level pressure; middle-level pressure and high-level pressure. The method is used in particular by an electronic control unit (ECU) to regulate rich combustion when regenerating a Lean NOx Trap disposed in the exhaust system of the ICE.
